I have learnt a lot from this book about The White Ship sinking, I think perhaps that I won't retain a lot of the details as this book is full of them and I would need to study them in detail. However I did enjoy reading it and it enlighten me about a period in history I knew very little about. I think this is one only for history buffs

The back cover blurb is pretty overdone.

If the ship didn’t sink, more or less the same drama would have happened, only the details would have differed.

But was worth the time spent reading it.

Not that different to the accursed kings books.

Actually, going to say three stars. The accursed kings is more fun.

Great read- excellently researched, good pace, reads like a novel. I really enjoyed this book- fascinating detail about ancient history which I was unaware of
